Made this for a friends son, charged just a bit more than supplies. Wondering what the full cost would be?
It is a 9x13 sheets cake, Triple Chocolate Fudge iced in buttercream with MMF accents. The bowling pins are molded chocolate.
Okay, I can't get it attached. It is in my photo album.
Thanks for looking, any input is greatly appreciated.

it always depends on where you live, and how much it costed you on supplies, but for me around here, it would be sold for 30$-35$, depending also, and the cake, and filling.

hope it helped a little

I don't know what your market will bear, but I would think somewhere around 25-30 dollars.

Your cake is very nice, your bowling alley turned out great.

I would say around $30.

$20 for the base cake and $5 for mmf acents and $5 for the chocolate molds.

To patton78: Yeah, So. Calif. is crazy. Wedding cakes start around $5 per slice, and that's just for BC icing and filling, with sparse decorations!

I would have sold it for 25-30 around here. Most of the bakeries in the area sell 1/4 sheets for 15-20, so I'm still charging more than they are. Fortunetly, I have built a decent base that buys for the taste, and not for the price.

$40 and no less. It is $30 for a plain cake this size and any additional items are an additional $10; but I may have charged even more for all that MMF that is sooooo difficult to need. Now I have arthritis! icon_mad.gif Not really but probably will some day!
